My professional background in ceramics started in Japan and continues in Ireland.  I love traditional arts and like to explore them from formless ideas to tangible form. Our human connection with nature’s elements (fire-earth-metal-water-wood) brings out the universality of harmony and beauty.

Wood-fired ceramics is one of my favourite activities which harness both these qualities. I make both functional traditional pottery as well as non-mythical sculptures. I chose the title taephota for my craft business because Taiwanese is my mother-tongue and it inspires me to see the strong resonance that a teapot has in both culture of Taiwan and Ireland.
